The subsequent development also confirmed that Zhao Dongyun expected to launch a large-scale offensive in the south again after serving the army for nearly a month in June.
Bong Jun sent three main divisions to attack Huzhou Duan Qirui, and was forced to retreat after another defeat. Later, Wang Zhanyuan even simply left without playing a direct pat on the ass with Bong Jun after people made enough money, and directly retreated to southern Zhejiang.
Later, Fengjun launched an attack on the second HunChengLv in Wuhu, and the result was the same suspense. Together with the ninth division, the fourth HunChengLv once again took Wuhu back, and this time the second HunChengLv of Anhui Army directly retreated to Xuancheng.
"At present, our army’s offensive in northern Zhejiang is still a relatively smooth step. In addition to continuing the offensive in Zhejiang, we are also preparing to transfer some troops from Jiangnan to southern Anhui and then take southern Anhui and cooperate with the first division to take Anqing and then go straight to Jiangxi."
Shi Yanglin, the war site, said, "Fujian in southern Zhejiang is a mountainous and hilly area. Even if our army moves smoothly, it will take a lot of time to take these two areas. Relatively speaking, the importance of southern Anhui and Jiangxi is more important to us!"
Zhao Dong Yundao: "It is feasible to shift the strategic focus to Jiangxi in the future, but it is also necessary to consider that there may be accidents in Wang Shizhen, the southern federal Republic of Hubei, and it is necessary for Anhui to maintain a certain strength when it enters Jiangxi in the future!"
Shi Yanglin said, "The War Department has made this consideration and marched into Jiangxi. At the same time, we also suggest sending troops westward to cooperate with Wang Shizhen to attack the three towns in Wuhan to completely solve the Hubei problem and cover our flank!"
"With Wang Shizhen?" Zhao Dongyun frowned slightly after listening. Although Wang Shizhen declared his allegiance to the Republican government on the surface, he was actually self-contained outside the Soviet Union.
If you share Hubei with him, there will be no threat of Zhang Dong, and Wang Shizhen will be able to release his hand. When the time comes, he will control Hubei, and he will probably become his own worry again.
In the early stage, Zhao Dongyun had been avoiding troops marching westward into Hubei, but he didn’t want to destroy the balance between Zhangdong and Wang Shizhen in Hubei. He wanted them to contain each other, so that Fengjun could free up his hands to clean up Duan Qirui.
Although Duan Qirui has retired to the south of Zhejiang, there are still hundreds of thousands of Anhui troops. It is necessary to take Zhejiang and Fujian as Guangdong one by one
At this time, if you rashly break the balance between Wang Shizhen and Zhang Dong, how will you get along with Wang Shizhen?
This is a big problem
"If we don’t solve the Hubei problem, we will always have to face the double threats of Zhang Dong and Wang Shizhen when we enter Jiangxi. To deal with their threats, we need Anhui to deploy heavy troops, which is very unfavorable for us." Shi Yanglin continued, "If we want Wang Shizhen to control Wuchang first after entering Hubei, it will be equivalent to trapping Wang Shizhen in northern Hubei. If we do this, we estimate that Wang Shizhen will not have the courage to resist!"
It is impossible for Wang Shizhen and Wu Fengling, who are now the only country in Fengjun, not to see the reality clearly. They will not rashly turn against Fengjun.
In this case, if Fengjun enters Hubei in the west, it is possible to directly control other Hubei areas in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, Zhao Dongyun cautiously refused to take Hubei as a good thing, but it is more important to take Anhui Army and other places in Hubei and Hunan.
Under the instructions of the army, the army quickly adjusted a series of strategies. Originally, a large number of troops were deployed in the south of Anhui Province. Because Jiangsu Province is very important, it is impossible to say that none of the troops will be left behind, that is, the 16 th Division will be mainly deployed in Jinling and Chuzhou. At the same time, the fourth Huncheng Brigade will be deployed in Zhenjiang and Suzhou because reconstruction needs a short time and it is impossible to continue the South War Station.
Yu Hai, an economic center, left a former First HunChengLv, now the 19th Division, which is also in the process of expansion.
In addition to the three field troops mentioned above, there are also a large number of newly established patrol infantry regiments from Anhui and Henan. In Jiangsu Province alone, there are as many as six patrol infantry regiments deployed with a total strength of more than 10,000 people.
The field army and patrol troops combined to serve the troops left behind in Jiangsu have actually surpassed the troops around the capital.
In addition to keeping heavy troops stationed in Jiangsu, the rest of the troops were transferred to Zhejiang and southern Anhui to take charge of the war in Zhejiang, but the second army has the tenth and fifteenth divisions.
The fourth army of Meng Enyuan is responsible for reinforcing southern Anhui and subsequently marching into Jiangxi. At present, this department has jurisdiction over the third division, the ninth division, the fourteenth division, the second heavy artillery battalion of the second cavalry brigade and the first field artillery corps.
Although the First Army in Lu Yongxiang will still participate in the fortifications in southern Anhui, such as Anqing, the actual strength of the first army is quite scarce. After the fourth Huncheng Brigade was transferred to Zhenjiang, the actual command of the first army was only the first division, which supplemented the strength of the first army. Zhao Dongyun transferred the original third army division to Anhui to join the first army sequence.
In order to supplement the gap after the division was transferred away, Zhao Dongyun also deployed the 11th Huncheng Brigade in Shijiazhuang, and South Henan joined the third army battle sequence. In Shijiazhuang, it was handed over to the 5th Huncheng Brigade.
In order to fill the shortage of Zhili, the temporary army was not too nervous. Of course, the main reason was that Zhao Dongyun became more interested in building the main division because of the good performance of the 14th and 15th divisions after the South War.
After the Fengjun army continued to go south, he was preparing to form a new main force, and the 20 th division of this force was newly formed according to the current Fengjun sequence
At the same time, it has also accelerated the plan to reorganize the Huncheng Brigade into an infantry division, and the fifth Huncheng Brigade is also an reorganizer, and this division has been short of the twelfth division for a long time
This designation of the 12th Division was originally revised by the 11th Division and the remnants of the 12th Division after being defeated by the direct army in 197. This designation of the 12th Division came after the subsequent revision, and the troops were also revised from the 13th Division, which led to the designation of the 12th Division.
The expansion of the 12th Division by the Fifth Hybrid Brigade is as strong as that by the Seventh Hybrid Brigade and the Tenth Hybrid Brigade. Naturally, it is impossible to compare with the newly formed 14th Division, 15th Division and 20th Division.
The seventeenth division and the tenth division have been expanded for many months, but they are still not fully staffed. The expansion process of the twelfth division will be similar.
After years of expansion, Fengjun finally expanded the number of the Central Army to 20. Of course, it is impossible for all the 20 central divisions to be the second division of Fengjun troops, the fourth division of Wu Fengling troops, and the sixth division of Anhui troops, but the Wang Shizhen troops.
Although several warlords in Beiyang are at war with each other, the actual designation of the Central Army is still relatively unified, and the Fourth Division of Duan Qirui Hui has always maintained the designation of the Fourth Division of the Central Army.
In this way, there are fifteen divisions, three Huncheng brigades, two cavalry brigades, two heavy artillery battalions, and a field artillery regiment belonging to those patrol troops does not belong to the Central Army, even those patrol cavalry battalions as field troops are no exception.
Some of the Central Army troops are fully staffed, some are short of staff, with about 16,000 people, while others are in their early 10,000 s. Even though the number of troops is increased, the size of the army has not expanded to 400,000 to 500,000. At present, there are about 300,000 people.
Compared with about 200,000 people in half a year, the growth rate can be said to be very fast. The important reason for the rapid expansion of Fengjun is that a large number of technical weapons, especially artillery and guns, were seized in the Jiangnan campaign, which enabled Fengjun to expand rapidly.
Moreover, due to the large number of Japanese weapons seized, there have been many purely Japanese divisions in the Bong Army, such as the first division, the first division, the fourth Hunchenglv after the reconstruction of the sixteenth division, and so on, all of which are exclusively Japanese.
Japanese and German domestic weapons together constitute the main equipment for serving the army at present and contribute to Zhao Dongyun’s great cause of reunification.
Chapter four hundred and thirty-five Wu Fengling depressed.
In this era, the Southern Federal Forces and the Anhui Army fully played the role of transport captains. When the Southern Federation retreated from the provinces of Liangjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, it left more than 100,000 prisoners to the Anhui Army, and also left a large number of weapons and ammunition such as guns and artillery.
After the Anhui army captured many ammunition prisoners from the Confederacy, it expanded to more than ten people in just half a year.
However, the Anhui army’s rout from Jiangnan also left tens of thousands of prisoners to Fengjun, plus tens of thousands of advanced guns and pistols, which have more strategic value: Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Jinling Manufacturing Bureau.
Relying on these contributions, Fengjun quickly expanded and rebuilt the Fourth Huncheng Brigade, expanded the 16th Division, and gave it to the 11th Division, 13th Division.
With these weapons and equipment originally belonging to Anhui Army, Fengjun has rapidly expanded its troops with less than 100,000 troops, and the number of troops that can be transported after the overall strength of Fengjun has increased naturally.
With sufficient troops and weapons and ammunition, Fengjun once again launched an offensive in the south. It was effortless to take northern Zhejiang and completely control the Yangtze River Delta. Then Fengjun continued to March toward southern Zhejiang and southern Anhui
Correspondingly, Duan Qirui was also forced to withdraw to southern Zhejiang, and at the same time, he transferred troops from Fujian and Guangdong to northern Jiangxi and southern Zhejiang to try to resist the one-step offensive of Fengjun.
But can they stop it?
I don’t know what others think of Zhao Dongyun, but Zhao Dongyun’s own view is that the resistance of the Anhui army is already yesterday, and it is impossible to meet any practical resistance
Since Fengjun took northern Zhejiang and marched into southern Anhui, Zhao Dong Yun’s eyes have shifted the body of the Anhui army to the national scope.
For the future, Jiangsu, Wu Fengling, Wang Shizhen, Zhangdong and Wang Zhanyuan are all enemies.
Anhui and Zhang Dong stopped talking about Sue and their irreconcilable contradictions.
The war between Anhui and the Soviet Union is not only a war of warlords fighting for territory, but also a war for the position of Beiyang boss. If Zhao Dongyun wins, then he is justified and even the only heir of Beiyang style. The contradiction between Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun is even more intense than that between Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun at the beginning, unless Duan Qirui and Zhao Dong give up the position of Beiyang boss and the opportunity and ambition to unify China, otherwise their contradiction will be irreconcilable.
The contradiction between the Soviet Union and the Southern Union is a kind of political disagreement. You should know that there are two governments in China now, one is Beiyang controlling the Republic of China, and the other is Zhang Dong, Duan Fang and other former Qing ministers, and the southern Han landlord group controls the Chinese federal empire.
Broadly speaking, the contradiction between the Soviet Union and the Confederacy is the contradiction between Beiyang and the Confederacy, and there is no possibility of reconciliation unless one of the two sides completely falls down.
And this will not change because the faction of Beiyang Department controls Beiyang. When Wang Yingjie controlled Beiyang, Beiyang and the Confederacy fought against each other. Now Zhao Dongyun controls Beiyang and the Confederacy also fought. Assuming that Zhao Dongyun is defeated by Beiyang platforms such as Duan Qirui or Wu Fengling in the future, Beiyang will still fight with the Confederacy.
There are two reasons for the frequent warlord wars in China today: one is the contradiction between Beiyang Department and the other is the contradiction between Beiyang and the Southern Union.
But for Zhao Dongyun, all the reasons are bullshit. He knows that China is his own fucking enemy except himself, and he needs to be destroyed one by one. Whoever stands in his way to unify China Road needs to be destroyed.
Zhao Dongyun has the determination to fight all over the country, even if the war lasts for many years, the number of people killed and injured will not hesitate, no matter what, he needs to unify China
This is not only his selfish desire for strength, but also a sense of responsibility for the country and the nation.
People always have different ideas at different stages. At the beginning of Beiyang’s army in 196, he thought about expanding more troops to occupy more territory. At that time, he never considered what country and nation would be even less afraid to rush into the guild, which completely set off the Beiyang War and made laws to recover property and life losses for the whole northern China. This state has never changed until he served in Nanjiang Nandu.
At that time, Zhao Dongyun never considered how many people would be killed or injured and how many families would break up if he started a war, and he was even less worried that a protracted war between himself and other warlords might cause China to split.
However, since the war in the south of Anhui Province was divided into victory and defeat, the Anhui army was defeated and the Fengjun occupied the south of the Yangtze River, which declared that the Soviet Union had a greater possibility of reunifying China.
At present, the Soviet Union has completely controlled the three northeastern provinces, Mongolian Zhili, Shandong, Henan, northern Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces. At the same time, northern Zhejiang is also controlled by the army, and southern Anhui will join the Soviet family in the near future. The above areas include most of northern China and Jiangnan, an important tax area.
Su Ke, who owns the above-mentioned territory, can be said to have controlled more than half of China, and both population, resources and economy account for a large share of the country.
In this case, Zhao Dongyun’s consideration angle has expanded from simply expanding the army and occupying more territory to unifying the country.
Although Su currently controls half of China, it can’t stop Zhao Dongyun from considering the issue from the perspective of national interests.
At this time, Zhao Dongyun will think more about the interests of the country and the nation, because these are issues that every ruler must consider
At present, China is divided, and it can be said that it has been in a real division for more than two years. If it continues to go, it will easily fall into a situation of complete division, and even if it is better, it may form a post-civil war.
For Zhao Dongyun, who has regarded the whole of China as his own bag, it is absolutely unacceptable that this situation may occur in the future.
And this idea can be said to be Zhao Dongyun’s selfish desire, but from another angle, it can also be seen as Zhao Dongyun’s responsibility to this country and nation.
It’s totally different for you to look at the same thing from different angles.
Considering that it is necessary to end the war as soon as possible and avoid the long-term war, which will cause the actual division of the country and cause too great a blow to the national strength, it is required that the Soviet Union can quickly unify China
In order to achieve the rapid reunification of China, military means are necessary, but some political means also need to be brought out. After all, hegemony is not achieved by fighting and killing, and sometimes it can achieve good results by playing tricks.
Military Fengjun continued to attack southern Zhejiang and southern Anhui.
As for politics, Zhao Dongyun is constantly wooing and appeasing Wu Fengling and Wang Shizhen. When they see that Duan Qirui has lost, they will have a cold mind. Once they have this mind, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not unite with Duan Qirui and Wang Zhanyuan to fight against themselves.
"We should still pay attention to the ordnance and ammunition in Shanxi. We can neither let the Jin army be defeated by the nineteenth town, but we can’t let them hoard too much ammunition, which in turn threatens us!" Zhao Dongyun continued, "At present, the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is still in line with our strategic requirements!"
Wu Fengling, Shanxi and Zhao Erxun, Shaanxi and Gansu have fought many times in the past two years. Although the scale of the war was not as big as that of the Fengjun Nanhe Zhijun and the Anhui Army, they also fought several battles with a scale of 10,000 people. In March of the beginning of the year, Wu Fengling personally commanded the Second Division, the Shanxi Army and his troops in the 19th town of Zhao Erxun to fight a battle. As a result, both sides failed to make much progress for more than half a month, so they were forced to fight again after thousands of people were killed or injured.
This made Wu Fengling feel wronged. It was not short when he came to Shanxi. However, there are still less than 50,000 troops who can fight, that is, more than 10,000 people in the second division. There are several reasons for his slow development. One is that Zhao Erxun is not an easy guy to deal with, and the 19th town has blocked the Wu Fengling offensive.
The second time Shanxi came, Wu Fengling was barren. Even if he wanted to expand his army, he wouldn’t get much money unless he, like Wang Zhanyuan, recklessly gave all the wealthy businessmen and landlords in Shanxi to the property. But this Shanxi is his base, and it is impossible to mess around like Wang Zhanyuan. On the contrary, he also learned Zhao Dongyun’s great efforts to develop Shanxi’s economy, especially relying on Zhengzhou-Taiyuan Railway to support a lot of textiles. Flour factories are even planning to build Taiyuan Arsenal to produce bombs, but Nai’s hands are short of money and two roots, so it’s impossible to get up. Now Taiyuan Arsenal is just a machinery repair workshop, and it’s ok to repair guns horizontally. If you can barely make a few sample guns, you can forget it if you want to invest millions of dollars in mass production.
